TORONTO -- David West scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter Wednesday as the Indiana Pacers edged Toronto 90-88, spoiling what had been a thrilling Raptors' regular-season opener at Air Canada Centre.

Historically speaking, the NBA schedule makers have not been kind to the Toronto Raptors. After their home opener on Halloween against the Indiana Pacers, one of the better teams in the East, they will go on the road 10 times and play at home six times this November.
